malegislature.gov/Bills/194/S2... An Act establishing the Massachusetts data privacy act

That seems pretty important!

I think it’s telling that the cultural touch point for authoritarianism and fascism in the United States for so many white people are the fictional events of The Handmaid’s Tale and not the actual history of the United States.

My take on Boston’s primary election: Kraft was a dud as a candidate. All hat, no cattle. Money was poorly spent on awful TV ads & mailers. Campaign malpractice of unprecedented levels. Mayor Wu was organized, disciplined & worked the neighborhoods hard. People responded to her vision & strength.

It will never not horrify me that an administration led by a rapist continually exploits sexual assault to justify terrorizing immigrants. While simultaneously defunding rape crisis services across the country. And filling the administration with other abusive (white) men.

Our 10-day registration cutoff is arbitrary and unnecessary. It serves no purpose other than voter suppression during the time of peak election attention. #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/03/m...
